Abstract: A method for identifying an application scenario of a terminal device, where the method includes analyzing an application program running on a terminal device by means of compilation to obtain characteristic data of the application program; and determining, from a scenario characteristic data set according to the characteristic data of the application program, application scenario information corresponding to the characteristic data of the application program, where the scenario characteristic data set includes a correspondence between multiple types of application scenario information and characteristic data of multiple application programs. Because characteristic data of an application program is more likely to be unique in describing a corresponding application scenario, application scenario information corresponding to the characteristic data of the application program is relatively accurate.

Abstract: Technology for a target evolved node B (eNB) operable to facilitate handover is disclosed. The target eNB can receive a handover request message to hand over a user equipment (UE) from the source eNB to the target eNB. The handover request message can include an evolved packet system (EPS) bearer group identifier (ID) indicating an EPS group bearer of the source eNB and associated with the UE, a last UE indicator to indicate whether the UE is a last UE of the source eNB to use the EPS group bearer, and a downlink (DL) traffic indicator to indicate whether the DL traffic for the UE during handover is negligible. The target eNB can perform a handover procedure to establish a connection with the UE based on at least one of the EPS bearer group ID, the last UE indicator, or the DL traffic indicator included in the handover request message.

Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) point-to-point communications link between an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network node B (eNB) and a user equipment device (or simply UE) is identified by UE/eNB media access control (MAC) identifiers on a per UE or per data radio bearer (DRB) basis for offloading cellular data from a long term evolution (LTE) link to the WLAN point-to-point communications link. A wireless local area network tunneling protocol (WLTP) includes packet formats and network protocol stack arrangements to support functions facilitated by the WLAN point-to-point communications link, such as, for example, identification of control and data traffic messages, DRB identification for WLTP packets, quality of service (QoS) delay and packet loss measurement, support of bearer splitting, and support of a general framework for offloading cellular traffic at different depths of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network protocol stack.

Abstract: An integrated WLAN/WWAN Radio Access Technology (RAT) architecture is described in which signaling used to control the integration of the WLAN/WWAN architecture is performed over the Radio Resource Control (RRC) plane. The integrated architecture may allow for User Equipment (UE) assistance in cell selection and traffic steering. In particular, UE-assisted RRC signaling is described for managing inter-RAT session transfers and secondary cell (SCell) selection.

Abstract: Systems and methods for bearer splitting among multiple radio links are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be communicatively coupled to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB) by multiple radio links (e.g., an LTE link and a WLAN link). A transmitter may dynamically determine a splitting policy for how to split traffic among each link (e.g., what proportion to send over each link). In some embodiments, the transmitter may determine the splitting policy explicitly based on lower layer metrics. Alternatively, or in addition, each radio access interface may request data when a transmission opportunity becomes available, and the splitting policy may be determined implicitly from the data requests. For a UE, the splitting policy may be determined with network assistance, which may include a resource allocation for an LTE link, a probability of successful transmission over a WLAN link, and/or the like.

Abstract: A multi-gate Schottky depletion-mode field effect transistor (FET), at least one diode and two resistors comprise a compact electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure. This ESD protection structure can be laid out in a smaller area than typical multiple diode ESD devices. The multi-gate FET may comprise various types of high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) devices, e.g., (pseudomorphic) pHEMT, (metamorphic) mHEMT, induced HEMT. The multiple gates of the Schottky field effect device are used to form an ESD trigger and charge draining paths for protection of circuits following the ESD protection device. Both single and dual polarity ESD protection devices may be provided on an integrated circuit die for protection of input-output circuits thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods to support intra-quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) QoS-aware scheduling are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). The eNB may schedule packets within a QCI according to information provided to the eNB by the UE. Packets in a QCI may be classified into one or more flows using the information. The flows may be prioritized based on which are most important to the UE. The UE may provide QoS parameters for each flow. The eNB may be schedule the packets based on which flow each packet is in and the QoS parameters for that flow. The associated QoS parameters may be prioritized, and more important QoS parameters may be met to the detriment of less important QoS parameters.

Abstract: A method implemented by a network service provider to provide a virtual network to tenants requiring bandwidth in a cloud computing environment, where the virtual network includes a first set of one or more virtual switches that manage a second set of one or more physical servers that host virtual machines (VMs). The method starts with receiving by one virtual switch a request for a first plurality of VMs, where at least one VM of the first plurality of VMs contains a bandwidth different from bandwidths of the rest of one or more VMs. The it is determined whether to accept the request for the first plurality of VMs by calculating a set of allocation ranges (ARs) associated to the virtual switch, wherein each AR of the set of ARs denotes at least one discontinuous VM allocation space within a virtual switch. Then VMs are allocated for the request.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide cross-layer bearer splitting and cross-RAT retransmission in a RAN-based WLAN/WWAN integrated network. A link aggregation transmitter is configured to receive, from a WLAN stack lower layer protocol, a WLAN transmission confirmation signal and a WLAN congestion status, and to receive, from a WWAN stack lower layer protocol, a WWAN transmission confirmation signal and a WWAN congestion status. The link aggregation transmitter dynamically splits the bearer traffic across the WWAN link and the WLAN link based at least in part on the WLAN transmission confirmation signal, the WLAN congestion status, and the WWAN congestion status.

Abstract: Technology described herein provides systems and technologies that help avoid waste of wireless network resources due to frequent losses of wireless connectivity with energy-harvesting devices (EHDs). An energy-harvesting-indicator communication can be sent from a wireless device to a cellular base station to inform the cellular base station that the wireless device is an EHD. The cellular base station can preserve context information and/or DL data pertaining to a wireless connection with the EHD when a wireless connection is lost due to a temporarily low level of available energy at the EHD. The context information and/or DL data can be preserved by the cellular base station until the period of time elapsed exceeds a threshold time value. Upon receiving a connection-resumption communication from the EHD, the cellular base station can use preserved context information to restore the wireless connection and proceed to send preserved DL data to the EHD.
